The AIA activist arrested at the pro Palestinian protest at the Zionist embassy in Dublin last night has been released following a night in the cells and an appearance in Dún Laoghaire court this morning.
The Republican activist has been charged with 'criminal damage', for taking a legitimate stand for Palestine and on release remained defiant and is pictured above with supporters displaying the Palestinian flag outside the court.
The Zionist Embassy is appalled at the legitimate protest by AIA. The Irish people meanwhile are appalled by the ongoing genocide carried out by the Zionist occupation.
There should be no Zionist Embassy in Ireland! Expel their Ambassador!

The Free State is complicit in the genocide committed against Palestine. They trade with the Zionists, denounce Palestinian Resistance and now use force to defend the Zionist Embassy
WATCH: Last night, pro-Palestinian demonstrators were attacked by the riot squad outside the Zionist Embassy in Dublin. Several protesters were injured.
